[Bug 1250407] Re: printer has stopped working. "Filter failed"

 

Teo,

Probably you just needed to Resume (unpause) the printer (right-clicking
the printer in system-config-printer and selecting Enabled or Resume
printer in the cups webinterface) to make it work again, can you try?

Thanks in advance,
Pascal

Title:
  printer has stopped working. "Filter failed"

Status in “cups” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  My printer was working fine until yesterday.

  A printing job was interrupted with a good reason because I
  disconnected the usb. However, I then reconnected the printer and
  rebooted, and cancelled the pending job.

  Now the printer doesn't print any more.
  Whenever I try, the printer icon appears in the notification area, and if I click on it, the printer is listed as "paused".
  If I select it, the "Document print status" shows the job as "pending".

  If I go to "Printers", the printer is shown with a green checkmark. If
  I double click it to see "Printer Properties", under the "Settings"
  tab, under "Printer State" it says: "Stopped - Filter failed"

  Unplugging and replugging the printer doesn't fix the issue, nor does
  turning it off and on again, cancelling and restarting the printing
  job.
